Chapter 1 Switch Management

1.1 Management Options

After purchasing the switch, the user needs to configure the switch for network management.

Switch provides two management options: in-band management and out-of-band management.

1.1.1 Out-Of-Band Management

Out-of-band management is the management through Console interface. Generally, the user

will use out-of-band management for the initial switch configuration, or when in-band
